So, for starters, this author did his thing on this project. From the beginning I was fully captivated by the story line and only got even more engrossed in it as the story progressed. The Characters, were relatable and well developed. So, many stones were left unturned and I can't wait to read part two! If you haven't already, definitely one click this.

Interesting

A Bitch's Bad Side by Kawand Crawford is a good read. This is my first time to reading from this author. It's well written and well concept. I enjoyed reading this book because it's a page turner. I'm looking forward to read part 2 of this book. I'm looking forward to read more about Casondra and the rest of casts.

This book had so many great reviews so I was excited to read it and see what all the hype was about. It's also my first book from this author and I'm always looking for new authors to recommend to my book loving friends and family. I have the whole series on my kindle so I was more than ready to start this series. Unfortunately this one wasn't for me and I was disappointed that I didn't enjoy it as much as everyone else. I really thought I would enjoy this more. I will be removing all of the books in this series from my kindle.

A good beginning

A very good beginning to what I hope turns out to be a very good book. The setup for the story is great. So fat, the characters are relatable and easy to like, love or dislike. It looks it's leading to some very interesting events in the lives of our characters. Looking forward to Part 2!

Good book. I’m glad Momo stepped up to raise her godchildren while Sondra was away. Ms. Wallace was trifling for taking Sondra’s money. I’m glad she did right by the twins. Hopefully the neither of the twins & Mahogany got hurt. Looking forward to finding out what happens in part 2.

This book was great from beginning to the end. Every time I pick up a book by this author I am taken into a different situation whether it be Sex, Love, Romance, of a good old-fashioned Hood book. In this first book in the series Kawand wasted no time showing us who the real "B****ES were because there is more than one. Coming home after 10 years has got to be hard on anyone and Kawand painted a very vivid picture on how so many things can change. (Family, Friends, Style, The World) He brought the characters to life like he does best. I could picture Jahmel as one of my family members, the one you have to keep out of the loop because he is ready to ride out and do whatever, whenever. Just say the word. At the same time I could see Rahmel as the smooth talking, "Think First Then Plot" type of guy he is. Mahogany I just didn't like flat out, she was just an a*** in my opinion. Then came Mrs. Bell aka Lady Sondra herself, what can I say? I loved every and anything about her. She was a true "BISH" and I can relate with her the most.
The plot and the twist had me on the edge of my seat wanting more and more. Let me not forget the incredible SEX scenes. They were Classy, even when they were raunchy. More authors need to peep game.

Great Job Kawand this was an amazing book. Can't wait for part 2... I recommend reading all if his books.

I expected a great read and I undoubtedly got one


There are some writers that I like to come back to again and again. Kawand Crawford is one of those. From the very first of his books I read, up to and including this one, he has consistently showed his great talent in very cleverly written plotlines with some really memorable characters.
In this book, we are introduced to Cosandra, a troubled woman just recently released from a ten year stint is a mental hospital. She has to rebuild her relationship with her children, as well as deal with some double crossers, who think they can get away with cheating a mental patient out of her cash. They are dealing with the wrong woman though and the “bitch’s bad side” starts to come into its own then.
Mr Crawford very cleverly uses the device of having the various chapters narrated by different characters within the book. This adds to the tension, as the reader knows what the individuals are doing, while also knowing that the other characters haven’t a clue what’s going on. Top marks to the author for doing that.
This is the first book in a series and, as a Kawand Crawford addict, I’m looking forward immensely to reading the next ones to come out. In the meantime, FIVE STARS to this treasure. It richly deserves them.

I can't wait to see the bad side!!!

I loved Lady Sondra because no matter what she didn't put up with the dumb ish from anyone. Momo is that loyal chick you always keep in your corner. She stepped up to handle the responsibilities Sondra wasn't able to do. Jahmel is a straight hot head. Rahmel although identical to his brother had a completely different attitude and seemed more level headed. Mahogany is too damn grown! I understood she wanted her own but there were other ways to go about the situation. I don't know what it is about Samara but I feel as if she's going to end up pissing Sondra off in the worse way possible. Omg Kandi! She thought for sure she wouldn't have to pay up with her scary ass! That ending though! I can't wait for part 2. Who got carried away, what will happen once Mahogany meets Sondra's friend, will more things be revealed, and most importantly will this altercation force Sondra to really show her bad side and risk her freedom yet again?!

a bitch's bad side

It's alot of drama unfolding each family member have their own dilemmas going on . When the author drop that bombshell about sondras best friend I did a lil dance like wow you just can't trust nobody .. I don't like the way it ended but glad I got the book while part 2 is out . Hopefully part 2 picks up were part 1 left off. I would recommend this its s nice packed book with a good amount of drama to keep you interested

5-Star Banger!!!

Oh My, this was definitely a rollercoaster ride ... I am impressed; I felt I was actually looking at a movie instead of reading a book. There were no grammatical errors that I can remember and the character development were on point! I would definitely recommend this book to other readers!!! It is a very fast pace read ... simply wonderful!!! I cannot wait to read the sequel!!!

A Bitch's Bad Side

Cossandra was a bad woman. She was locked up in a mental institution for 10 years. When she got out she still commanded respect.

Enjoyed it

I really liked this book. Very interesting read. Looks like a lot of sequels though. This could have been longer and more developed. Felt rushed.
